I recently decided to remove the apex buckle (dremmel tool) and replaced it with a Dutch biner. For a tiny weight gain, I think this would be a much easier option for those who want to rig the spindrift on the fly AND it allows a user to remove the webbing should they get wet, dirty, etc.

thank you so much for posting this.i have been trying to come up with a zipper mod so i wouldnt have to sleep with a roof over me unless i needed it.i think your way is better,and im going to use it.happy hanging.

just be careful with the two suspension lines - biners are designed to be loaded on-axis, and it could be fairly easy for this configuration to become cross-loaded in a way that does not correctly bear your weight.

This is what I was thinking, hence the design of Brandon's original piece. I could see a failure happening...
